Discussion and accuracy

This is something I love showing my non-shooting friends, the first time they go out to the range. Gun Noobs are usually unaware that movies are HORRIBLY inaccurate about how loud firearms are. Discussions at the range tend to be brief, and what little is said is SHOUTED LOUDLY.

I got a few posts here and a couple emails. It was suspected that I used Monday’s strip to exit Omar from the overall comic. Have no fear. He will return, just as he did from the dumpster. Possibly with a few scars from the Russian mafia? Only time will tell…

Prepping for Comic Con Intl these nights. Woof. We’ll be in Booth 1230 again, unless something major changes, teaming up with Gearhearts Steampunk Revue. Should make for an entertaining convention. Half the table will be women dressed in Neo-Victorian garb, corsets and bare legs and such, and on our half… comics about cats and guns.

If mick if lefthanded [what it looks like to me in this strip] then some of his accuracy issues are stemming from anticipating recoil [weird imo seeing as he is shooting a 22] or he is not following through.

You think you will ever have a strip where alex gives him some tips or atleast tries to help him fix this?

It could also be that he’s firing a Taurus PT-22, which has an extremely short barrel. I’m good with .22 pistols with barrels in excess of 3 inches, but the PT-22 I fired I was crappy with. Felt like I was trying to fire a credit card-shaped tiny brick. The grip was like a coke can.

Okay… I goofed. Alex apparently owns her own home with old mutton chops… and Heidi is the one with the missing roommate. I went back into the archives to check something else and found my mistake… … that’s what happens when I open up with the keyboard before verifying my facts. Senior moment, my bad etc…

A) We’ve had the table at CC Intl for years, and honestly, even with the overhead, the amount of dough we make there is goddamn staggering. We also have a lot of industry peeps that we only see at certain, specific cons. It’s a long story, but we were basically guided into CCSD back when we were new to the convention thing, and now that we have a table, we’re holding onto it for dear life.

B) We’re looking into PHXCC for next year – we’ve had some really good reports from other strippers over the years. The problem is we know very few people in the Phoenix area, as opposed to the other cons we do, and we’ll have to once again set the whole thing up from scratch – how/where to ship our merch, get tax licenses, where to stay, how long to stay, etc.
(On that same note, we’re also looking into Emerald City as a possibility.)

C) Californians don’t hate guns. California POLITICIANS hate guns. And most Californians are either too “busy” or too apathetic to do anything about this. Culture of ego, one of the main reasons I left 18 years ago.

It’s always fun working with people new to hearing protection, no matter what the activity is. I use double ear-pro, (plugs AND muffs) due to habit from the USAF and a permanent hearing shift, for any noisy activity. Teaching Noobs that they can hear themselves at normal voice volumes, but no-one else can, can be a little frustrating.
